Story Behind The Song
I am a musician with 3 children, like many musicians I want a better America for my children. It talks about war, censorship, and lack of respect in the world, mostly about our freedom...or should I say our relative freedom.

Lyrics
WOA...WOA...WOA...
AM I; AM I
WOA...WOA..., WOA...OO...WOA...OO...WOA
FREE, FREE...FREE, FREE
WOA...WOA...WOA...
AM I; AM I
WOA...WOA..., WOA...OO...WOA...OO...WOA
FREE, FREE...FREE, FREE
OUTRO: FREE, FREE...FREE, FREE...FREE, FREE...
VERSE: DEAR MR. PRESIDENT, IF YOU PLEASE
WE HAVE A QUESTION TOO...
WE REPRESENT ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD
WELL, AT LEAST THOSE WHO SEEK TRUTH
VERSE: MEN FOR HIRE; WORDS FOR SALE
LADY JUSTICE SINGS THE BLUES...YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
ASK NO QUESTIONS; WE WILL TELL YOU NO LIES
OH...THAT?S THE ?GOLDEN RULE?
VERSE: HOLD YOU CONVERSATIONS...LIES COVER LIES...
WORLD LEADERS SPEAK IN RHYME
YOU FEEL CENSORSHIP PROTECTS THE GENERATIONS
OH...AND CURES THE WEAKENED MIND
AND YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FINE; FINE....
SORRY, BUT I FEAR YOU CAN?T HAVE MINE!
BRIDGE: WE DON?T NEED YOUR RESERVATIONS...NO,NO....NO,NO....
PLEASE DON?T TELL US WHAT TO DREAM
IF YOU CREATE A WORLD OF FEAR AND COMPLICATION
ARE WE TRULY FREE?
I ASK YOU, ARE WE TRULY FREE?
OR SIMPLY...ONLY WHAT YOU NEED!
